The doctors were clear. They gave us the statistics, which were not good, not good at all…“And yet, despite this prognosis given to his dad as reported by Le Parisien and BFM TV, little Lucas, 12 years old, treated in Val-de-Marne has almost cured of incurable brain cancer.

In 2017, doctors diagnosed the child from Belgium with “infiltrating brainstem glioma“. An extremely aggressive cancer which affects several dozen children each year.

Treated at the Gustave-Roussy cancer center in Villejuif (Val-de-Marne), he gradually eliminated the disease, without treatment. It was even completely stopped a year ago.

Lucas is believed to have had a particular form of the disease. We must understand what and why to succeed in medically reproducing in other patients what happened naturally with him. That would be great“, tries to explain Doctor Jacques Grill of the Gustave-Roussy hospital.

Le Parisien indicates that eight other children followed at the Gustave-Roussy hospital as part of the Biomede clinical trial, are “considered long responders” and without relapse. And this three years following their diagnosis.
